Audio 1
Distorted soundboard? - Sound 3 - 1hr 12mins - ?? gen - 21 tracks
Misses White Man in Hamersmith Palais. Half way through Clampdown goes very bassy and never fully recovers.
Tommy Gun
Audio 2
Distorted soundboard? - Sound 3 - 1hr 19mins - 3rd gen - 22 tracks -
A small improvement. Sounds like a great soundboard exists under the distortion. Same master source as above but perhaps not quite copied as many times?
Tommy Gun
Sound quality
Kosmo Vinyl as usual introduces the band. A recent upgrade to a 3rd gen reveals a much clearer sound with little problems and a full version of Ammunition.
Not much in them.
An old one was another reasonably good tape from early 84. It cut out Ammunition and is a little distant, some audience noise and some odd patches of muffled sound and some digital clipping.
Another recording with a similar/better sound is severley clipped and cuts Ammunition too. Link to Satch's

By FRANK RIZZO Courant Rock Critic oe Strummer is calling it the "show-e" tour. The lead singer and song-writer of The Clash wants to show that the British rock group is as strong as ever, despite the depar-ture of co-writer and guitarist Mick Jones. 2 pages

The Clash let a bunch of fans on the stage to play their instruments
Megan Taft-Porter I was at that Clash show! I was so proud to see the Hoods and I remember the Clash let a bunch of fans on the stage to play their instruments and sing during the encore. Epic!
Ed Popowitz - Link The Hoods played 4/17/1984 Providence Civic Center Providence, RI w/ The Clash
I was there as a 14 year old
Mark Adrian Morris - I was there as a 14 year old, this show and Providence, RI on the same tour we’re my only chances to see The Clash. I knew it wasn’t the same, but what can you do. Blessed to have seen Mick in BAD 10 times and with Carbon Silicon in Cambridge MA at TT the Bears in front of 100 people.
4 Strummer and Mescaleros gigs as well. Imagine if they Joe hadn’t passed and they rehearsed for RnR HOF induction? What should have been....

Mike Cella I WAS THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND IT WAS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!
The Clash to go out fighting and shouting
Chris Knowles I can't possibly say it enough- this is EXACTLY what I'd been hoping for for DECADES. This was all I ever wanted - for the Clash name to go out fighting and shouting, not nodding off in a scrawny little junkie stupor. Aside from the little bits of extraction flange, this sounds so insanely perfect I can hardly believe it's real.
Another epic night
Diane M Kenny I was there too it was another epic night LOL. Put a new spin on the song I fought the law lol
Mike Oliver Went to the Clash/ hoods I was smashed lol
My mate jumped up on stage and sang with Joe Strummer
Mark Gagnon We bought a whole row. Rui jumped up on stage and sang with Joe Strummer
